Permanent magnets are made from "hard" ferromagnetic materials such as alnico, and ferrimagnetic materials such as ferrite that are subjected to special processing in a strong magnetic field during manufacture to align their internal microcrystalline structure, making them very hard to demagnetize.
Can ferromagnetic materials become permanent magnets?
Not only do ferromagnetic materials respond strongly to magnets (the way iron is attracted to magnets), they can also be magnetized themselves—that is, they can be induced to become magnetic or made into permanent magnets.

Why ferromagnetic materials can be permanently magnetized?
Ferromagnetic materials has uniform electron spins pointing in the same direction, while paramagnets have spins in all directions. This causes the ferromagnets to have strong attractive or repulsive forces when introduces to a permanent magnet.
